Michael Duch (b. 1978) is a Norwegian bassplayer. He is currently a Research Fellow at the University of Trondheim (NTNU) where he is doing research on improvisation in experimental music with Cornelius Cardew as the main focal point. Duch has been involved in a wide variety of experimental musics the last decade from Free Jazz to Open Form-scores and Indeterminacy. He is a member of the Norwegian improvquartet Lemur and his soloalbum "Edges" will be released on the Bergen-based record label +3db later this year.
Cornelius Cardew (1936 - 1981) was a musician of genius for whom Life and Art were as one. He was a radical, both artistically and politically, becoming a tireless activist and uncompromising Marxist-Leninist. Passion and imagination governed all he did: his boldness and humanity continue to intrigue and inspire. (from the Matchless website) This concert will be presenting Cardew and his experimental compositions from the 1960's many of which are rarely performed.
